Respuesta :
Alfred Mahan proposed the importance of a strong navy that became a key part of the foundation of American imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century.
What does the Alfred Mahan express?
- The question is cited from Mahan’s The Influence of Sea Power upon History: Securing International Markets in the 1890s
- One of the leading proponents of the "vigorous foreign policy" Turner alludes to was Mahan. Mahan claimed that the United States should look for new markets abroad because he thought that the economy of the United States will soon be unable to handle the enormous amounts of industrial and commercial goods being produced locally.
- Making sure that the U.S. Government could ensure access to these new international markets was what worried Mahan the most.
- To gain such access, the United States would need three things: a merchant navy that could transport American goods to new markets across the "great highway" of the high seas; a battleship navy to thwart or destroy enemy fleets; and a network of naval bases that could supply fuel and supplies for the enlarged navy as well as keep channels of communication open between the country and its new markets.
